Free batch photo resizer by FastStone

Every once and a while, the need may arise where someone with very limited computer experience (like your Mom) asks you to send her a good amount of photos from a past event. Burning a DVD and mailing it would take too much time and trying to explain how to download a gigabyte of photos from an FTP site would be too problematic.

I found a great freeware utility called FastStone Photo Resizer. It is an image converter / resizer intended to enable users to convert, rename, resize, crop, rotate, change color depth, add text and watermarks to images in a quick and easy batch mode.

Download it free here.

So to make a long story short, I was able to resize the hi res photos to a more managable size, and emailed the file to her. Quick and easy.
